At noon on the second day after Wei Wuji's death, Cheng Qiao had just finished lunch when he received the information from Luo Wang.
After reading it, Cheng Qiao put down the information without saying anything else. A dead man was no longer worthy of attention.
Afterwards, Cheng Qiao came to the back hall of Yong Palace and saw Ying Zheng who was studying hard.
When he first came to Yong Temple, Cheng Qiao still had a psychedelic feeling that Ying Zichu was still there, but now he has adapted to it.
"Come to study with me?"
Ying Zheng was leaning on the couch, holding a bamboo scroll, and he knew it was Cheng Qiao who had arrived without raising his head.
There were only a few people who could go without notification. Cheng Qiao's footsteps were completely different from those of the woman. In addition, Ying Zheng was very familiar with Cheng Qiao and there was no need to use his eyes to distinguish them.
"That depends on what books you read, Brother Wang."
"You are still the same as before. You are always reluctant to touch things that you are not interested in. Even if you can't see them, there is no harm in getting to know them a little bit."
"Brother Wang, your argument is similar to that of my father."
"An elder brother is like a father."
Ying Zheng put down the bamboo slips, came to a large black table, and sat opposite Cheng Qiao. The waiter brought the tea cup, and the two brothers started chatting away from each other.
A quarter of an hour later, Cheng Qiao started talking about the business.
"At noon, news came from the Wei Kingdom that Wei Wuji was dead."
Ying Zheng's face was calm, without any surprise, and he nodded slightly and said: "He died well, Wei Wuji was a great man of his generation, but it's a pity that he was born in the wrong place. His great man is our disaster."
"It is indeed a good death. I still felt a little regretful at the beginning, otherwise the losses to our Qin country would have been smaller."
"Everything is planned by people and accomplished by God. Don't worry about it. You have already done a good job."
"After all, the Six Kingdoms of Shandong have existed for hundreds of years, and their luck is still there. It's normal for things to go wrong, but they can't last long and are just hanging on."
Cheng Qiao nodded slightly and said, "This matter has passed. I have one more small matter that I hope Brother Wang will approve."
"Since it's a trivial matter, you can just do your own thing, why bother bothering me while I'm reading?"
"Ahem, I can't do this on my own. It requires not only the consent of the king, but also the consent of the queen mothers and concubines."
"Um?"
Ying Zheng was a little surprised when he heard this. What kind of trivial matter requires the consent of so many people? Is it a trivial matter that requires the consent of so many people?
After thinking about it carefully, Ying Zheng figured out the reason. His face became solemn and he said in a deep voice: "Do you want to officially leave the palace and open a mansion?"
What a quick thinker. Cheng Qiao secretly praised him and said with a smile on his face: "Yes, I left the palace and opened a mansion. My younger brother is already quite old and his height has caught up with his elder brother. It is not convenient to live in the palace anymore."
"No, I don't agree. You are only fourteen years old, why are you so anxious?"
Out of reluctance, Ying Zheng subconsciously rejected it.
"While my father is still alive, it doesn't matter if he stays for two or three more years, but brother Wang, you are old enough to get married."
"It's no surprise that Grandma, Queen Mother and the others have probably started to think about it. It's not appropriate to stay here any longer."
"Brother Wang doesn't mind, the grandmothers don't mind, and the Queen Mother doesn't mind either. I know all this, but I have to consider Sister Wang's thoughts and the thoughts of the outer court."
"And sooner or later, I have to leave the palace and open a palace. I can't live in the palace for the rest of my life, right?"
Cheng Qiao explained patiently with a smile on his face.
Although the relationship between the brothers is deep, reason tells Ying Zheng that this is the right thing to do.
Ying Zheng pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "You are right, then I will listen to you. Have you chosen the location of the mansion?"
"Let's use the mansion given by Mr. Lu. Chaoque Street in Jixianfang is quite close to the palace."
"It's close, but the regulations aren't appropriate, right?"
"It's just a matter of expansion. There happens to be a lot of open space over there."
"It probably won't be enough."
"enough."
"It's not enough. How can the Marquis' regulations be enough?"
"Marquis?" Cheng Qiao was shocked when he heard this, and quickly advised: "Brother Wang, please don't be impulsive. Marquises should not be awarded lightly. My merits are not enough. It is a small matter to provoke people, but it is a big deal to undermine the system."
Ying Zheng smiled happily and said, "Don't worry, I'm not dizzy yet."
"The Marquis cannot grant it to you now, but with your ability, little brother, the Marquis will definitely not run away in the future. To avoid trouble in the future, we might as well expand it according to the Marquis' regulations."
"Well...the rules of the princes."
"No outsider would dare to say anything about such a workaround."
Cheng Qiao was a little speechless, but also a little moved. He gave him a peach and repaid him with a plum.
Compared to the Ying Zheng who doesn't trust anyone, is ruthless, and lives alone, wouldn't it be better to have this kind of humane Ying Zheng?
The emperor's ruthlessness should be ruthless in state affairs. If he is ruthless in the face of everyone, does not recognize his relatives, and has no human touch, such an emperor will only be feared, but not respected and loved from the heart.
Everyone has feelings, and emperors are also human beings. As long as public and private affairs are distinguished, what's the problem with having feelings?
Among the emperors of ancient and modern times, which emperor is the most humane and the most respected by the people of the world?
That must be the emperor named Renzong!
Cheng Qiao calmed down his emotions and said with a carefree smile. "It is true that the regulations of the princes are not enough, but I am used to staying there and don't want to change places. I just spend some money to buy the adjacent mansion."
"That's okay." Ying Zheng nodded slightly.
The two brothers never considered whether others would sell it. They would definitely sell it, and only fools would not sell it.
Putting aside the issue of status and power, anyone with a little bit of brains will know that this is a great opportunity to get closer.
The people who live in Jixianfang are all powerful and status people, so there is no one who is stupid.
"By the way, there is one more thing that I need Brother Wang's help with."
"Help? Does that mean I can't make a decision?"
"I'm afraid this matter requires the consent of the two grandmothers and the queen mother."
"I understand, you want to take your mother and concubine out to live, right?"
The two brothers were close, so Ying Zheng did not call Cheng Qiao's biological mother his wife, but his mother's concubine, and Zhao Ji was his mother's concubine.
"That's right, but it doesn't necessarily have to go out to live. As a son, can I still restrain my mother?"
"Living outside the palace, I am afraid that my mother will be lonely. Living in the palace will have many people to accompany her to relieve her boredom. It mainly depends on my mother's wishes."
"In the future, when my mother gets older, I hope my mother will always live outside the palace."
"It's not difficult. Let's talk to my grandmother and mother about it later."
"Is everything okay?"
"It's okay. Come play a flag with me."
"Okay, let's play chess."
In this era, the restrictions on women's movements were not serious. It was not difficult for concubines to leave the palace for fun. As long as they were favored, even if they were not favored, they could leave the palace as long as there were legitimate reasons.
After the two played a game of chess, they left the Lama Temple together. First they went to Huayang Palace to meet the Queen Mother Huayang, then to Zhiyang Palace to meet the Queen Mother Xia, then to Lanzhi Palace to meet the Queen Mother Zhao Ji, and finally to Gaoquan Palace. Notified Mrs. Han.
There were some twists and turns, mainly because the Queen Mother Xia was reluctant to let go of Cheng Qiao and the old man was old. Fortunately, Cheng Qiao agreed after coaxing him for a while.
It went very well with Queen Mother Huayang, Zhao Ji, and Mrs. Han.
The Queen Mother Huayang was happy to see Cheng Qiao leave the palace and open a palace, and was thinking of letting Ying Zheng marry a princess of Chu.
Zhao Ji is a little heartless. From her point of view, it is not a matter of life and death. Cheng Qiao can enter the palace at any time and she can leave the palace at any time. What is the impact?
When Mrs. Han saw that her son had grown up, she felt happy. She had obtained the right to live in two more places. She could look for him wherever she wanted, and naturally she would not have any objections.
After settling the matter, Cheng Qiao accompanied Ying Zheng back to Yong Temple, sat there for a while and then left.
After that, Cheng Qiao left the palace and went to the mansion outside the palace, and called the people who came to collect the net to check the details of a person.
This person is Zhao Gao, who has just been promoted to the general manager of Lanzhi Palace!
